IMPROVEMENT IN FORCE-PUMPS.

v Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 193,665, dated July31, 1877 application filed June 22, 1877.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, WILLIAM S. LANEY, ofLithopolis, in the county of Fairfield and State of Ohio, have inventedcertain new and useful Improvements in Force-Pumps; and I do herebydeclare that the following is a full, clear, and exact descriptionthereof, which will enable others skilled in the art to which itpertains to make and use the same, reference being had to theaccompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon,which form part of this specification.

My invention relates to improvements in pumps particularly applicablefor raising water from deep wells, the nature of which will be fullyexplained by reference to the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1represents a plan, Fig. 2 a side view, and Fig. 3 is a verticalcross-section of a part of a pump constructed according to my invention.Figs. 4, 5, and 6 are detail views, and Fig. 7 is a verticallongitudinal section.

In each of the views similar letters of reference are employed toindicate corresponding parts wherever they occur.

A represents a frame or platform applied over a well, and A the mainframing of the pump.

B represents a force and O a lift pump, each of which is provided with apair of piston cylinders, b b and c c, and pistons or buckets b 0operated by piston-rods b b c 0 The piston-rods b b c 0 are eachconnected to the short arm 01 of a pivoted lever, D, the long arms 01 ofwhich, by rods d are connected in pairs to the cranks e of a revolvingshaft, E, working in bearings acarried by the framing- A.

On one end of the shaft E is mounted a fly or driving wheel, E, while onthe opposite end is applied a pinion, c, gearing into a pinion, f,affixed on a shaft, F, uponthe outer end of which is mounted afly-wheel, F.

It will thus be seen that the pistons or buckets b c of the pumps B Oare operated simultaneously in pairs.

Gr represents the supply column or pipe which connects the pumps B O.The pipe G, at its lower end g, is in communication with thevalve-chamber g in which is arranged a pair of valves, 9 opening intothe chamber 9 arranged over passages b (one'for each cylinder,) whichconnect the cylinders b b with the chamber 9 The pistons b are formedwith valve-passages controlled by flap or other suitable valves openinginward or on the upstroke.

The pipe G, at its upper end, is forked or branched so as to form twopipes, g g for the reception of the cylinders ccof the pump 0. Thesecylinderscc, at their lower ends, are provided with screens or gratings0 above which are arranged the valve-plates 0 provided withvalve-passages controlled by valves opening upward. The pistons c arealso provided with valve-passages controlledby valves opening upward oron the downstroke.

The pipes g g and cylinders 00 are applied in the end of the pump-case Gwhich is provided with chambers 0 forming a continuation of the pipes g9 H represents the delivery, which is connected by side passages hwiththe chambers 0 It will be readily seen that by forming the cylinders c aseparate from the pipes g g and pump-case G the said cylinders, withtheir valves and gratings, may be readily removed from the pump forrepairs or cleaning.

The pump B will be applied in the Well below the surface of the water.

Having thus described my invention, what Iclaim, and desire to secure byLetters Patent, is

1. The combination, with the pump B, having cylinders 12, buckets orpistons b and column G, operating as described, of the pump 0, havingpipes g 9 case 0 removable cylinders c c, and pistons 0 constructed andoperating as described.

2. A pump, having removable cylinders 00, provided with gratings orscreens 0 c and valves 0 0 substantially as described.

3. The combination, with the pistons or buckets b 0 and rods b c of thepumps B G, of the pivoted levers D, levers d crank c, shaft E, wheel E,pinions c and f, and shaft F, and fly-wheel F, the whole beingconstructed to operate substantially as shown and described. I

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I affix my signaturein presence of two witnesses.

WILLIAM S. LANEY.
